What the code does

We read the source, 6 d ago · rules ccca72095570

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

            subprocess.run(  # noqa: S603, S607
            data = yaml.load(text, Loader=_strict_yaml_loader())  # noqa: S506 - a SafeLoader subclass

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Ocean Insight Spectrometer every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add labmcp-ocean-spectrometer -- uvx labmcp-ocean-spectrometer
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "labmcp-ocean-spectrometer": {
      "args": [
        "labmcp-ocean-spectrometer"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.labmcp-ocean-spectrometer]
command = "uvx"
args = ["labmcp-ocean-spectrometer"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "labmcp-ocean-spectrometer": {
      "args": [
        "labmcp-ocean-spectrometer"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {

        "labmcp-ocean-spectrometer"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: LABMCP_ADDRESS (Instrument address, e.g. serial:///dev/ttyUSB0 or tcp://192.168.1.50:5025), LABMCP_SIMULATE (Set to 1 to use the built-in simulator (no hardware)), LABMCP_READ_ONLY (Set to 1 to disable all state-changing tools), LABMCP_LIMITS (Safety limit overrides, e.g. max_temperature_c=80). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Ocean Insight Spectrometer — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ocean Insight Spectrometer?
Ocean Insight Spectrometer runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package labmcp-ocean-spectrometer was installed 199 times last week.
How do I connect Ocean Insight Spectrometer?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls labmcp-ocean-spectrometer straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ocean Insight Spectrometer?
The pypi package labmcp-ocean-spectrometer was installed 199 times in the last week. Week over week that is -35%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ocean Insight Spectrometer open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 19 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
